Good News for “Good Fortune”

This just in… “Good Fortune” has been chosen as a 2012 NCSS-CBC Notable Social Studies book. I hope this means that it will end up in even more school libraries for kids to read (like me in the Loma Linda Elementary School library, back in the day.) Congrats to Renee and Joan and everyone else who made this book happen! It has been such fun watching the project come to life.

In other news, I’m excited to be exhibiting some of the paintings from Good Fortune in the 2012 Children’s Book Illustrators Exhibit at the Sun Gallery in Hayward, CA from February 15-April 7. Here’s the cool postcard they put together for the show:

If you’re nearby, be sure to check it out! I think it will be a great show, with a good variety of artists. The full list of participating illustrators and other event details are on the back of the card below.
